by Eeeville Animals also seem lacklustre to me in a 2er. Perhaps the following variant:When adding animals to the offer spaces, add them to all of the spaces (or at least the 3 player spaces in...

by dyepbr Animals don't appear as attractive an option, since they don't synergize with the rest of the tiles except with themselves and a few knowledge tiles. They can be very powerful however, when...

by ath3ist Okay gang, I opened it up and read the rules. It does seem very different. The set collection is probably the most prevalent mechanism, although the placement aspects are also interesting,...

by Thunkd All good games. If you will be playing two player I'd recommend Trajan. If it will be more than two it's a toss up between Trajan and Macao.

by andrewwThere's a not-dryness that comes from a dynamic that's not evident from the rules. Placing some of the tiles gives you extra actions, so you end up with chaining. I place a castle with my...
